A MOB burned to death a woman member of a religious sect and two of her granddaughters and burned down several homes after a sect member was accused of posting blasphemous material on Facebook.
Police in Pakistan said the homes and the dead, which included a seven-year-old girl and her baby sister, belonged to the minority Ahmadi Muslims in the country’s east. Nine other people were also badly burned, The International News reported.
The Ahmadiyya Islamic religious movement, which believes in a prophet after Mohammed, consider themselves Muslims but a 1984 Pakistani law declared them non-Muslims and many Pakistanis consider them heretics.

Car bomb expected to ravage local tourism industry; town fears Bt100 million loss
BANGKOK: -- STATE AGENCIES and the public have begun a process to restore confidence in Betong, the town in the far South hit by a huge car bomb last Friday that killed two and wounded 42 others. But the drama is expected to put a Bt100 million-plus dent in the town's economy.
Insurgent attacks have been common in the predominantly Muslim deep South since 2004 but Betong in Yala, which borders Malaysia, had enjoyed relative peace.
Yala Governor Dejrat Simsiri said the bomb blast seriously harmed the local economy, which mostly depended on tourism - as it had created panic among Malaysian and Thai tourists and other prospective visitors. The greatest impact, he said, could be the hit to Betong's domestic tourism.

Or an attack on Islam but I'd like point out Christianity is no better, nor Judaism.

Well Israel wasn't involved so I'm sure the "outrage" will be muted.
Makes you wonder when these victims will finally decide to rise up and whip the asses their oppressors.
If projections are correct they outnumber them 9 to 1. What gives???
SHABQADAR:
In an apparent case of honour killing, a man killed his teenage sister Zubaida in Dildar Ghari, Charsadda on Saturday over suspicions that she was in a relationship. The victim’s stepsister Musarat was also injured in the firing.
Musarat told the police at the hospital’s casualty ward that she was at home with Zubaida when her stepbrother Haider Ali came in and shot Zubaida, Tarnab police official Roohul Ameen told The Express Tribune.
Zubaida died instantly, and an injured Musarat was taken to hospital. Ali fled.
According to Musarat, Ali shot Zubaida because he suspected she was seeing a man from Shabqadar. Tarnab police has registered a case.

So, what he says matters and carries weight. It is important to stress this because what he has done has shocked even conservative Muslims. Nadvi has written a long and passionate letter (in Arabic!) to the Saudi government offering to raise a militia of 500,000 Sunni Muslim Indian youth as his contribution to a "powerful global Islamic army" he has proposed in order to fight Shia militants in Iraq and "help Muslims in need" elsewhere. The army would become part of a Caliphate that he wants Saudis to set up for the Muslim ummah, the international Muslim community.
He also suggested that terrorists should not be referred to as terrorists as they were engaged in a “noble cause’’ and called for a “confederation’’ of all jihadi organisations so that they could transform themselves into a single “powerful global force”.

That's a fitting analogy. I suppose we all come off complacent more often than truly outraged.
I was encouraged to hear about Mexican civilians rising up and fighting the cartels in their neighborhoods. I'd be pretty danged vengeful too after seeing enough of my friends and family beheaded or otherwise tortured and executed for so much as speaking out against the cartels.
But it takes more for some than others I suppose...
